| abstract | - Before Magyaku's presence, Tanigakure stood as a major force in criminal activities. Rare flowers and herbs grew among the freshwater valley, all with unique hallucinogenic properties. By forcing its people to work fields and tend to dangerously positioned gardens, Tanigakure not only earned funds, but had a large amount of free labor. It even allowed the Akatsuki to have a base in the Land of Rivers. The people were also brainwashed to believe they needed a specific drug. Their currency became narcotics and carnal pleasures, ecstasy. Magyaku's title, Daidarabotchi (ダイダラボッチ) had spread among all five lands. But he also earned a new name. A spirit of revolution, A god who descends among people when evil plagued the land for far to long. Iwagakure had suffered for years. And people spoke that it was due to him, their current head had an opportunity to rise into power. So Magyaku's sudden appearance gave an unforeseen hope to Tanigakure. They began to believe him a savior that would liberate the Land of Peace its impurities. Which he did, and without fail, they gave him his title of Village Head. Magyaku supports a unique way of living. Unlike other villages, he turned Tanigakure into a Land of Peace (Heiwa no kuni,平和の国) His village focuses on using herbs for medicinal purposes. As well as introducing a more neighborly, kinder way of living. They raise cattle upon flat lands and utilize the entire Land of Peace for crops. The greatest civilizations all started from valleys and it is because of this fact, Tanigakure has one of the highest successful crop rates in the world. The amount of fresh water and herbal diversity makes it ideal for even unique animals to grow. Unfortunately, Tanigakure's military is nothing more than a large militia of skilled shinobi lead by Magyaku and his closest allies. Tanigakure is a growing superpower in agriculture and medicine. They were the first to began genetic engineering and selective breeding. Their crops and cattle are known to survive in harsher conditions for a much longer period, while contain almost twice as much natural nutrients. They rely mostly on the use of spies carefully buried throughout The Land of Peace and unique way of relaying information to keep their village protected. A special barrier camouflages Tanigakure itself and makes it look as if it is not even there. The barrier also keeps people that are not in Tanigakure from sensing that that is within. Protected by the barrier from sensory and sight, it was only right to Magyaku that it be protected by barrier ninja that monitor what comes in and out of it.
